"Dr. Mercola's Sleep Mask with Lavender"

If you can't sleep, or experience sleep apnea, then a sleep mask may be the best natural sleep aid for you.

After a long hard day, all you want is a good night's sleep, right?

It shouldn't be too much to ask for, but finding restful and restorative sleep is not always as easy as it seems for many.

Recent exciting research is showing that something as commonplace as light can be the tipping point that determines whether you'll sleep deep.

I'll share more about this discovery and quick and easy ways you can use it to improve your sleep quality in a moment.

But, first, if you have ever had any difficultly falling asleep, staying asleep or find yourself waking up only to feel even more tired than you did the night before, you are not alone.

In a recent National Sleep Foundation study, over 100 million Americans reported occasional sleep problems.

Without the quality sleep your body needs, it's no wonder you wake up feeling groggy and tired after those occasional nights.

Deep sleep recharges your batteries, restores your body and mind, and boosts the performance of all your body's most important systems-giving you the help you need to make it through every day.

Without good sleep, well, you know what happens...

You feel sluggish from the second you wake up...

Your ability to focus and get tasks done suffers, especially when you feel yourself "crashing" long before the day is over...

You never seem to be able to get into that "next gear," so everything feels like a real struggle...

You find that you're more easily annoyed, irritated, and prone to mood swings...

You have to fight to stay awake or even be present with the people and events in your daily life...

Thankfully, there are ways you can set yourself up for a better night's sleep...

Simple Steps for Improving Your Sleep:
Those 40 Winks May Be Closer Than You Think

If you are having occasional sleep problems, whether you are not able to fall asleep, wake up too often, don't feel well-rested when you wake up in the morning, or simply want to improve the quality and quantity of your sleep, there are many things you can do, including:

Go to bed around the same time each night, ideally around 10 PM.

Avoid snacking just before bedtime, particularly grains and sugars.

Keep the temperature in your bedroom no higher than 70 degrees F.

Eat a high-protein snack several hours before bed. This can provide L-tryptophan, a precursor to melatonin and serotonin.

Avoid caffeine as much as possible.

Make sure you exercise regularly, but not near bedtime.

However, one of the quickest and easiest things you can do to assure yourself of a great night's sleep is simply making sure your bedroom is completely dark.

Understanding Melatonin and Light -- It's the Difference between Night and Day

It works like this: Light travels through your eye's optic nerve to a part of your brain called the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN). Once there, it gives your body the message that it's either time to go to bed or time to wake up.

When it's dark outside, this message triggers the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. On the other hand, when there is light, your SCN tells your body it's time for you to get up.

Light also signals your SCN to initiate other processes associated with being awake, such as raising your body temperature and producing hormones like cortisol.

So, let me say this more clearly: Melatonin is produced when it's dark. Your body stops producing it when there is light.

As you can guess, the more your sleep is disrupted by light pollution, the lower your melatonin levels and the more compromised your sleep can be.

We're coming to understand that the amount of light required to disrupt or stop your production of melatonin can be very, very minimal – even as small as a nightlight or the light from your digital clock!

So, what's this tell you?

To improve the potential quality of your sleep, you'll want to learn how to remove light from where you sleep...

Turn Out Lights to Turn On Your Sleep

It's amazing, but true... ANY source of light – one as tiny as the glow from your clock radio, your nightlight, or even the light that sneaks under your bedroom door – can interfere with your ability to sleep.

One of the quickest and easiest ways to potentially improve your sleep is by doing a thorough "light check" of your bedroom, including:

Installing blackout drapes

Closing your bedroom door if light comes through it, and even putting a towel along the base to prevent light from seeping in

Getting rid of your electric clock radio (or at least covering it up at night)

Avoiding night lights of any kind

Keeping all lights off at night (even when you get up to go to the bathroom) – and, yes, this includes your TV

But, there is one more thing you can do to help remove light from your bedroom...
